PURITAN 

STEEL and IRON RANGE 

Cabinet Design . . 
Rounded Corners 



IF YOU want a range that heats 
up to cooking and baking tem- 
perature in "double-quick" time 
... a range with the smartness of 
modern lines ... a range abundantly 
large for the cooking and baking of a 
good-sized family and yet economical 
of fuel — then you should have this 
Kalamazoo PURITAN. 
First, read all about it here. Study 
its picture and, in the table below, its 
measurements, etc. Read about its 
great quick-heating, fully porcelain 
enameled oven (on page 39) and the 
"whys and wherefores" of its many 
other features, on pages 17, 18 and 19. 

30 Days Trial in Your Kitchen 

Within 24 hours of the time your 
order reaches us, the stove will be on 
its way to you by fast freight from the 
Kalamazoo factory or warehouse 
nearest you. When it arrives, use it 
for 30 days. Bake and roast in its 
roomy, even-heating ventilated oven, 
learn for yourself that" it comes to 
baking heat in 20 minutes. See how 
quickly things boil on its extra heavy 
cooking top. Cook oatmeal on its 
non-scorch lid and prove to yourself 
that it won't burn or stick to the 
saucepan even when you leave it 
without stirring. Or set something to 
simmer and see how it keeps piping 
hot without boiling away. See how 
the mirror-smooth polished top re- 
lieves you of the dirty drudgery of 
blacking and polishing. Use it hard 
and long. Try it out in every way 
you can think of for a whole month. 

Satisfaction or Money Back 

Only when your entire family vote for 
the PURITAN on the strength of the 
delicious foods you have been pre- 
paring on it, do we want you to keep 
it. If you are not completely satis- 
fied, we want you to send it back to 
us, just as it is after 30 days' use, 
and we will refund every cent you 
have paid us on it. 

Modern Design 

The PURITAN is solidly built of 
iron and steel. The front, top, left 
end and fire-box parts are of the 
finest iron, the balance of Armco steel 
heavily porcelain enameled inside 
and outside. The long-arched leg 
base blends into the lines of the stove

The rounded corners have the appealing beauty of the best 
modern furniture. 

Perfect Oven 

The entire oven is porcelain enameled, for perfect cleanli- 
ness. Heat from the fire swirls over, around and under this 
famous "Oven That Floats in Flame," through insulated 
flues. That's one of the secrets why it heats so fast and with so 
little fuel. Another reason is the Oven Bottom-Plate of iron which 
absorbs heat and radiates it into the oven in great volume. 
An 8-inch lid in the oven bottom-plate makes it easy to clean

PLEASE READ PAGES 17, 18, 19, and 39 



You wouldn't think of keeping a saucepan 
which was enameled on the outside but not 
on the inside. Enamel is the best protection 
against rusting out, and we have used it 
wherever possible in building the PURITAN. 
All parts in the body of the PURITAN are 
completely enameled — inside and outside — 
we know the PURITAN will stand the gaff 
and actually be in use years after cheaper, 
lighter stoves have rusted out because of 
exposure to air and moisture. 

Cook-Top Guaranteed 5 Years 

We make the Cooking Top extra heavy, rein- 
force it and guarantee it for 5 years against 
cracking, warping, or burning out. We know 
that it will last much longer. The PURITAN 
cooking top has four 8-inch cooking holes with 
extra weight in the lids— 1 multiple, 1 non- 
scorch — and a French Top section on which 
you can cook as on a griddle. The Puritan is 
sold only with 20-quart Reservoir of copper. 
Wide-mouthed, easy to scoop water out. 
Reservoir tank lifts right out for cleaning. 
Reservoir cover enameled on under side as 
well as upper side, to prevent rust getting into 
your hot water. 

Other Features 

There is a big self-balancing Pouch Feed Door for 
putting coal on the fire easily. There is a special wood 
fire door for putting 19-inch sticks in fire-box without 
moving cooking utensils or lids. Your choice of 
Anthracite or Duplex Grates, depending on whether 
you burn hard coal, soft coal, coke or wood. Sliding 
ashpan in an ashpit that srays clean. Your choice of 2 
different styles of back — the double-door Warming 
Closet as shown or the Utility Shelf. Smooth inside 
walls wipe clean with one rub of a cloth. Floor Board 
porcelain enameled to match your range, $3.25 extra. 
Water Front to supply hot water for boiler, $4.75 extra.

You have NO FREIGHT TO FIGURE AND NO FREIGHT 
TO PAY on any stove, range or furnace you order from 
this catalog— from the smallest stove up to the biggest, 
heaviest furnace. When your freight agent notifies you 
that your shipment has arrived, all you have to do is to 
get it. ALL THE FREIGHT CHARGES HAVE BEEN PAID 
IN ADVANCE AT THE FACTORY, BY THE FACTORY. 



Dear Friends: These days when 
pennies count more than ever, you can't 
afford to buy blindly — to accept mere 
CLAIMS of quality. You owe it to yourself 
to demand FACTS, and PROOF. 

What better assurance of QUALITY can 
you have than to deal with a company of 
35 years' good reputation — a company with 
over 950,000 satisfied customers — a company 
with over $3,000,000.00 in assets? 

And how else can you get your full money's 
worth so surely, as by buying direct from the 
factory at the FACTORY PRICE? 

Here at the Kalamazoo factory we know that 
our stoves and furnaces are the finest you will 
find anywhere, even at twice the price. But 
we don't want you to accept our mere 
CLAIMS. We want you to PROVE THEM 
FOR YOURSELF, to your own complete 
satisfaction. We want you to find out how 
good a Kalamazoo is, right in your own home! 



30-Days* Trial 

Therefore, we invite you to order any Kala- 
mazoo ON APPROVAL— to test it in your 
own home for a month. And we give you our 
written promise that you may return it to us, 



if 30 days' actual use in your own home does 
not PROVE to you that all our claims are 
FACTS — and we will refund anything you 
have paid on it, including freight charges. 

This 30-Day Trial is SATISFACTION IN- 
SURANCE for you. It doesn't cost you a 
penny. But it is the ONE way you can be 
absolutely sure of getting your full money's 
worth for every cent you spend. 

$100,000 Bond 

Behind this written Guarantee stands a 
$100,000 bond on | deposit with The First 
National Bank and Trust Company of Kala- 
mazoo, as security for the return of your pay- 
ment if you choose to send back the Kalamazoo 
at the end of the 30-Days' Trial. This bond 
makes your satisfaction doubly sure. 
In addition, you have a 360-Day Approval 
Test — which means that should your pur- 
chase develop during that time any imperfec- 
tion of material or workmanship, we either 
correct the fault FREE to your complete 
satisfaction, or you return the merchandise 
and we will refund all money you have paid 
including freight. 

You also receive a Bond guaranteeing im- 
portant parts for 5 years. (See opposite page.) 



Terms as Low as 18c a Day 

You can buy anything in this catalog (except 
a few very low-priced articles) for a little 
down payment and small monthly payments 
extended over AN ENTIRE YEAR. Prices, 
both "Cash" and "Credit," are plainly marked 
all through this catalog. Down payments are 
usually $5.00. By making a larger down pay- 
ment, you can make a nice saving on the credit 
price, at the same time reducing the size of 
your installments. For details, see page 7, also 
table at bottom of page 56. 

Quality Stoves, Furnaces 
at Low Factory Prices 

We don't claim that nobody else makes good 
stoves and furnaces. But we do say that no- 
body makes better ones than we do, and we do 
know that we can save you money! 

This is simply the result of our method of doing 
business. Other stoves come to you through the 
hands of wholesalers or retail storekeepers — or 
both. Their expenses and profits increase the 
price to you, without adding a penny's worth 
to heating or cooking power. . . . On the other 
hand, you buy a KALAMAZOO DIRECT- 
TO- YOU from the factory at the factory price. 
And you save all those non-productive, in 
between costs. 

200 Styles and Sixes 

You get a wider variety of choice in this catalog 
than you would find in 10 stores. You find page 
after page of ranges, stoves and furnaces of

varied sizes and designs, to burn all kinds of 
fuel or to heat houses of all sizes. You have a 
wide color choice, too. 

24 Hour Shipment 

We ship by fast freight very promptly. Over 
90% of our orders are on their way to the 
customer within 24 hours of the time the order 
reaches us at the factory. To speed delivery, 
shipment is made to you from the factory at 
Kalamazoo, Mich.; from factory warehouses 
at Utica, N. Y.; Springfield, Mass.; Akron, 
Ohio; Harrisburg, Penna.; or Appleton, 
Wis. , whichever is nearest you. 

A Good Investment 

Remember a good stove or furnace 
is an investment in health, happi- 
ness and contentment — a faithful 
friend, to serve you for 15, 20, per- 
haps 25 years or more. So give to 
its choice all the thought its im- 
portance deserves. Don't pay 
MORE than you need to be SURE 
it's a GOOD one — but, above all, 
don't try to "save" on it AT THE 
EXPENSE OF QUALITY. You'll 
be a sure loser if you do! 

Every Kalamazoo is made from the 
finest materials that money can 
buy by well-paid workmen with all 
the skill of 35 years experience. As 
a result, nearly a million families, 
in every part of America, know and 
swear by Kalamazoo-Direct-to-You 
quality. Each year their recom- 
mendations send new thousands of 
people to us. That truly "speaks 
louder than words," doesn't it? 

Sincerely yours.

FACTORY PRIC 



950.0DD 



THIRTY-FIVE years ago we started the Kalamazoo-direct-to-you way of do- 
ing business. We are still doing business that same way — manufacturing 
ranges, heaters and furnaces complete in our big factories and selling them 
direct from factory to user at the FACTORY PRICE. 




We eliminate in-between costs, middlemen's profits 
and other unnecessary expenses. You receive the 
benefit, in the form of lower prices. The pictures on 
the opposite page show exactly how and why you 
save when you buy direct from the factory. 

Another reason why we save you money — we are 
the LARGEST direct-selling stove and furnace fac- 
tory in the world. Nearly 45,000,000 pounds of iron 
are melted each year in the giant Kalamazoo foun- 
dries. Our factory is busy the year round. Constant 
production on a vast scale enables us to buy raw ma- 
terials at rock-bottom prices, and operate our fac- 
tories with utmost efficiency. The result: large 
savings, reflected in still lower factory prices, and 
still bigger savings for Kalamazoo buyers. 

Doing One Thing Well 

The Kalamazoo Stove Company IS a factory. Its 
two great plants — occupying over 26 acres — make 
nothing but stoves, ranges and furnaces, day in 
and day out, year after year. Because we are stove 
and furnace specialists, our en- 
tire thought and energy is con- 
centrated on producing the finest 
stoves in America. 

Men and Metal 

We select pure gray irons from 
Alabama and the Lake Superior 
region, melt it in our own fur- 
naces, under our own formula. 
We test it hourly in our own 
metallurgical laboratory for just 
the proper content of silicon, 
sulphur, carbon and manganese. 
We have a special name for this 
special alloy— HI-TEST IRON. 
We even send clear to Albany, 
New York for extra-choice mold- 
ing sand so that Kalamazoo cast- 
ings may be extra smooth, even, 
fine-grained, free of flaws and 
blow holes. 

Through the acres and acres of 
foundry space, assembly rooms, 
warehouses and shops are hun- 



dreds of workmen — many of whom have been 
with this company 10, 15, 25 and even 35 
years. They own stock in the company. 
They are more than workers. They are own- 
ers, and they put into Kalamazoo Stoves 
more than merely labor — they give the ut- 
most of their expert skill and experienced 
craftsmanship. 

Our Own Enameling Plant 

The Kalamazoo factory has its own enameling 
department. The enamel is baked on at 
1200° and 1300° Fahrenheit in double and 
triple coat. A constant stream of enameled 
pieces flows across the inspection tables. Per- 
fect lighting and ventilation assure cleanli- 
ness, true color, and absence of dust particles. 

10,000,000 Pounds of Quality 

Our warehouses at Kalamazoo, Utica, N. Y., 
Akron, Ohio, Springfield, Mass., and Harris- 
burg, Pa., hold 16,000 stoves — nearly 10 mil- 
lion pounds of quality! Ready to ship in 24 
hours to all points, giving amazingly fast 
delivery, wherever the purchaser may live. 

Ten Tests 

Every Kalamazoo goes through ten inspec- 
tions before it is shipped. We could not put 
such a strong guarantee behind our products 
unless we were sure that the product would 
stand up under hardest use. 



35 YEARS 

IN BUSINESS 

The Kalamazoo Stove Company has 
been in business for 35 years, expanding 
from a tiny shop to become the largest 
stove and furnace fac- 
tory in the world selling 
direct to users. There are 
over 950,000 satisfied Kala- 
mazoo owners all over the 
United States, in every 
county — practically every 
township. Ask them about 
Kalamazoo quality and 
value! 



m 




Buy from the Men Who 
Make Them 

Always remember that this is not a stove 
store, but a FACTORY, Pig iron and sheet 
steel come in on one track— finished stoves 
and furnaces go out on another. We melt the 
iron, pour the castings, clean, enamel and 
assemble them into complete stoves; crate, 
store and ship them from our own factory 
warehouses. So you deal with the men who 
actually make your product — men who have 
only one job to do. You eliminate extra selling 
costs -saving them for your own pocket. 

The Factory Responsible to You 

Direct dealing means that the Factory itself 
is directly answerable to you for the satisfac 
tion and perfect performance of your stove. 
There's no "buck passing" from storekeeper, 
to wholesaler, to factory, and back again. 
We answer to you direct, and our $3,000,000 
worth of assets and 3 5 -year old reputation 
for fair dealing are your protection. 
You are certain of quality, too, when you deal 
direct with the factory. Our 1,250 employes 
have been trained to think in terms of Qual- 
ity First. When you buy from Kalamazoo, 
YOU MUST BE SATISFIED. 

You Can Always Get Parts 

We keep a complete stock of parts for every 
Kalamazoo stove and furnace, ship immedi- 
ately, charge only the foundry price. Read 
page 45. Again, it pays to buy direct-from 
the-factory. 

QUALITY, ECONOMY 

Quality for quality, Kalamazoo stoves 
cost less than other stoves because 
you buy them at the FACTORY 
PRICE, instead of at the usual retail 
price. Similarly, Kalamazoo stoves 
offer greater money's worth than 
other stoves selling at Kalamazoo 
prices. Because when the selling price 
includes extra profits, extra manu- 
facturing and extra selling cost- 
then QUALITY must suffer.

I8'A DAY 






WHY STRUGGLE along day after day with an old- 
fashioned, slow-heating, back-breaking, dreary-looking, 
dust-catching, fuel-eating stove . . . 

. . . When, for only $5 down and as little as 18c a day, you can 
have a brand new, sparkling Kalamazoo Range to brighten up 
your kitchen, lighten your work and cook the most delicious 
meals you have ever tasted. 

Over 75% of all Kalamazoo 
Ranges are now being sold on 
our easy credit plan because 
every day our customers are 
realizing that they can actually 
have a glistening new Kalama- 
zoo range in their kitchen with- 
out missing the money . A year 
to pay, at $5 a month, figures to 
something less than 18c per day. 



THE MORE YOU PAY DOWN 




If you are buying on Credit and find it convenient to pay down MORS 
than the regular small down payment, you can save money. 

Increasing your down payment earns you a Special Allowance, to de- 
duct from the credit price. You then have a full year to pay this re- 
duced Credit Price balance in twelve equal monthly payments. 

Example: Suppose the Credit Price is $72.35, regular down payment 
$5. Regular monthly payments would be $5 . . . But if you can pay 
$25 down instead of $5, you get a Special Allowance of $2. Deduct 
from $72.35 the $25 down payment and the $2 allowance. This leaves 
only $45.35 to pay, reduces the size of your monthly payments to 
$3.78 instead of $5.

Surely that is little enough for the joy of owning a quality 
range. 

Times are better. It may have been economy to hang onto 
an old stove during "the dark days of the depression. But the 
sun is starting to shine again and it's NOW economy to 
invest in the things you really need. 

Your credit is good with us. We 
invite you to use it. Turn to 
the order blank, page 56. See how 
simple it is to order. See how 
you can make additional savings 
by paying a little more than the 
usual $5 down with your order. 
Any plan you use when buying 
on credit is all right with us. We 
welcome your credit order as well 
as your cash order.

SHEER HEATING POWER 

Brought this Big Stove Instant, Overwhelming Success! 



IN A FEW short months after we introduced 
this FRANKLIN Heat Circulator it had 
proved itself one of the most popular stoves 
Kalamazoo has ever made. 

Heavy, Sturdy and Fine Materials 

What is responsible for this success? First of all it REALLY 
THROWS THE HEAT because it is a big stove, weighing 
100 to 200 pounds more than an ordinary heater. Its 
weight speaks for its quality. Insides and front are extra 
heavy moldings of the finest cast iron. Sides and back of 
genuine Armco Steel. Each part is built to last. The one- 
piece Combustion Chamber weighs 92 pounds! The 
rugged Fire Pot weighs 78 pounds. The Grate Bars atone 
weigh 38 pounds. Castings heavy as these hold the heat an 
unusually long time. 

Big Fire Door — Big Fire Pot 

The Franklin is a great heater, because it holds a big 
fire. Look at the drawings above — -those are actual meas- 
urements. The fire door is tremendous, a full foot high and 
TWENTY INCHES LONG! The fire pot is even larger: 
22% inches long, 14 inches wide and 8<A inches deep. This is 
one heater into which you can throw real LOGS, nearly 
two feet long which saves you the trouble of splitting wood 
or big chunks of coal. It will burn any fuel 
wood, hard (Anthracite) 
coal, coke or lignite. 



Hot Blast Attachment 

Inside the fire door is a Hot Blast Attachment which may 
be opened to admit an extra flow of pre-heated air over the 
fire. Opened when firing or when burning smoky fuel it 
will consume most of the smoke, turning it into usable heat. 
A Smoke Apron, hung in the fire-door, prevents smoke 
puffing out into room, but does not hamper you in putting 
ofi fuel. Burns up old boxes, papers, sticks and branches — 
turning your rubbish into heat. . . . Another feature: the 
top of the domed Combustion Chamber is FLAT. By 
removing the top register face, you can use this flat top for 
cooking. It is large enough to hold a 14-quart pail. Large 
cold air register in rear of stove provides good heating 
volume and constant circulation without drafts. 

Lock Joints— No Smoke Leaks 

The joints between Ash Pit, Grates, Fire Pot and Com- 
bustion Chamber are all deep cup joints, sealed with iron 
cement. No smoke or gas can leak through them. The Com- 
bustion Chamber is cast all in one piece. The Fire Pot has 
fins %-inch thick for greater strength and added heat 
radiating surface. The Grates shake easily despite pounds 
of extra weight. The high ash pit holds a sliding pan that 
makes ash handling simple. Fire and Ash Pit Doors are 
PAPER-TIGHT— (See pages 10 and 11) for this and many 
other construction features of Kalamazoo heaters. 



Firelight Windows— Foot Warmer 

Through the cross-hatched door panels, and the 
crack-proof screen of clearest mica, you can watch 
the cheery flames. The firelight shines cozily into 
your room. And look at the panel below, that drops 
down to form a convenient foot warmer. What 
rest, what comfort on a cold winter's night! 

Grained Walnut Porcelain Enamel 

A beautiful stove, with its rich, warm walnut fin- 
ish of glass-smooth Porcelain Enamel. A real orna- 
ment to any room, you will be proud to show it to 
your friends. Cleans in an instant, too, with the 
wipe of a cloth. And safe where there are children, 
because the outer casing never becomes dangerously 
hot. Porcelain Enameled Stove Board, $3.25 extra. 
Stove shipped from warehouse at Kalamazoo, Utica, 
N. Y., Akron, Ohio, Harrisburg, Pa., or Springfield, 
Mass. within 24 hours. 

The outside casing is never danger- 
ously hot for children to touch.

CAN you tell just by look- 
ing at a stove how much 
heat it will throw — 
whether it will go light or heavy 
on fuel— whether it will hold a 
banked fire oyer a long winter's 
night — how quickly it will re- 
spond to the drafts? Nobody 
can know those things at a 
glance. You have to study a 
stove, see how it is built, what 
features it has before you can 
tell how it will perform. It is the 
hidden quality 
BUILT INTO the 
stove that counts. 

So on these pages 
we are describing 
the features of 
Kalamazoo heaters 
— the things that 
mean health and 
happiness for your 
whole family. 



Combustion 
Chambers 
are cast in 
one piece. 
This con- 
struction pre- 
vents leakage 
of smoke at 
seams .be- 
cause there 
are no 
seams, 1 Fire 
pots also 
cast in one 
piece. 





Lock Joints 

Cup joints, iron-cement 
sealed, allow for expan- 
sion yet prevent smoke 
and gas leaks between 
castings. 



Hot Blast 

(On some heaters) Blows 
preheated air over fire, 
burns smoky fuel clean 
and hotter. Turns waste 
smoke and gas into heat. 



Ash-Pits 2 Higher 

Prevents ashes piling up 
against grates, and 
thereby prevents the 
danger of burning out or 
warping grate bars- 



One Minute to Clean 

Every inch porcelain 
enameled, can be 
washed, dried and pol- 
ished in a minute or two. 
Easy on the housewife, 
and the stove keeps its 
"new" appearance for 
years. 




Big Top Register 

Practically whole top is 
register. Unobstructed 
upward flow of warm 
air increases heater's 
efficiency. 



First Quality Materials 

The basis of stove quality is 
Quality Materials and careful 
workmanship. Only the best 
iron will do, because it holds 
heat better and stands up years 
longer under the hard usage 
you give a heater. 

Kalamazoo iron comes from 
America's finest mines, is tested 
in our own laboratory, melted in 
our own foundry, molded in a 
sand we bring specially 400 miles 
for its fine texture. Sheet metal 
parts we make of world 
famous ARMCO steel. 






Check Draft 

Draft in pipe collar 
slides open or closed, 
aids door drafts in check- 
ing, banking and con- 
trolling fire. 



Insulated Feed Door 

An inner lining of cast 
iron keeps the flame from 
contact with the outer 
door and thus protects 
the porcelain enamel. 



Inner Parts All Cast 

No warping and buck- 
ling, as occurs when 
sheet metal combustion 
chambers are riveted to 
cast iron fire pots as 
on many other heaters.

Weight Means 
Strength 

Weight and thickness 
of iron is all important 
in the castings that 
hold the fire — in 
Grates, Fire Pots and 
Combustion Chambers. 
The heavier they are, 
the better they will re- 
sist burning out, the 
longer they will last. 
You will find these 
parts extra heavy in 
Kalamazoo heaters. 
For example, the 
"Century" combustion 
chamber is full l A" thick, 
weighs 65V 2 pounds. Its 
Fire Bowl weighs 62 
pounds, while those of 



/jour-Coot neaZUta 



the Commander and Triumph 
weigh 38 pounds and that of the 
Franklin 78 pounds. Here is 
weight where it counts for 
you in longer stove life and free- 
dom from breakdown or repairs. 

Grates to Burn All Fuels 

DUPLEX Grates for coke and soft 
coal; or ANTHRACITE Grates for 
hard coal are supplied with Com- 
mander, Triumph, Century and 
Franklin. Either burns wood per- 
fectly. Victoria has sturdy circular 
draw grates for all fuels. All castings 
are joined by a sealed cup joint that 
CAN'T leak. OUR FIREPOTS ARE 
GUARANTEED 5 YEARS. 

Solid, Strong Construction 

Slam the door of any Kalamazoo 
heater. It sounds solid and substan- 
tial, because the door 
and the whole front 
are made of cast iron. 
Now slam the door of 
some ordinary heater. 
It sounds like tin, be- 
cause it is made of 
thin sheet steel. Such 
a stove door is almost 
certain to sag or warp 
under the heat of the 
fire. Then what hap- 
pens? You get an air 
leak that quickly 
smothers your fire; or 
an ashpit leak that 
burns out your banked fire in the 
middle of the night. It costs more to 
build the Kalamazoo way, heavy cast- 
iron doors closing tight against heavy 
cast iron door frames — but it is worth 
more to you, much more. 

No Air Leaks 

Try this test to see for yourself how 
air-tight Kalamazoo stove doors are. 
Close the ash pit door on a sheet of or- 
dinary writing paper. Now, try to pull 
that paper out without tearing it. You 
can't do it! That means there's no 
danger of drafts sneaking in to 
smother or burn out your fire — no 
danger of dust, smoke or gas leaking 




Heavy fins or corrugations in castings 
increase strength and heating power. 



out . . . Kalamazoo heater 
doors (including the Model 
Oak) are GROUND-FIT. 
That's quality stove building. 

Never "Air Bound" 

Kalamazoo heaters are made to 
allow generous space between 
inner castings and outer casings 
for the air to circulate steadily 
and in large volume, without re- 
striction. Extra inlet register 
in the back of the stove admits 
ample flow of cool air between 
the stove walls. Large top 
register lets warmed air flow 
freely out of the heater. No 
"air binding," no drafts — but 
a constant, gentle stream of 
warmed air circulating through 
your house. 

Hot Blast Saves Fuel 
Makes Cleaner Fire 

TheHot Blast on 
the Franklin, Century 
and Victoria Heaters 
takes outside air into 
a hollow in the fire 
pot rim, heats it there. 
The chimney draft 
sucks this extra, pre- 
heated air out over 
the fire, mixes it with 
the fire smoke and 
gases, causing them 
to burn fiercely . . . 
This heat would 
otherwise be wasted 
up the chimney. It 
gives a cleaner, hot- 
ter, more economical fire. 



Banks 12 to 15 Hours 

Air tight, with seamless chambers, 
lock-joints, snug-fitting doors — Kal- 
amazoo heaters will hold fire from 1 2 
to 15 hours. In the morning your 
rooms will be warm, your fire ready 
to pick up the moment the drafts 
are opened. 

Beauty 

All workmanship is concealed, no 
screws or bolts showing. Casings 
are double coat porcelain enameled, 
either glossy black or rich brown 
tones, or hand grained Walnut that 
rivals the natural wood in beauty. 



i£ 



A cold winter's night— cozy with a Kalamazoo heater. 

■am 



Cast Iron Elbow 

Takes the direct blast o 
the fire. Cast iron in 
this part will never burn 
out as a sheet metal 
elbow would. 



Big Fire Doors 

This real convenience 
makes it easy to put in 
fuel. Economical, too, 
because big fuel holds 
firelonger. Prevents spill- 
ing coal, etc., on turs. 



Ribbed Castings 

Fire Pot and Com- 
bustion Chamber ribs 
absorb and radiate more 
heat, same as an auto- 
mobile radiator does. 
Add strength and heat- 
ing surface. 



Solid Cast Frame 

Legs, leg-base all around, 
entire front section. 
Gives whole stove 
rigidity and strength. 
Assures all doors a per- 
manent tight fit.

NOWHERE have you seen a 
heater to match the Century 
Big ... 45 inches high, 29 inch 
es wide, 21 J^ inches front to back . . . 
and graceful in every line. And it takes only 29 x 21J/£ 
inches of floor space ! 

As handsome as your finest piece of furniture — it 
has the heating power of a furnace. Spic-and-span 
in its head-to-foot finish of 2 -and -3 coat porcelain 
enamel — beautifully colored in two harmonizing 
tones of light brown and dark brown. Its fluted front, 
rounded corners and long-arched leg-base give it 
all the artistry, smartness and good taste of the 
hnest modern design. Its smooth surface avoids 
dust, is easily cleaned. 

You can be the FIRST in your community to own 
this magnificent Heat Circulator — for it is absolutely 
NEW, shown now in this Kalamazoo Catalog for 
the FIRST TIME. Wouldn't you be justly proud 
to display it to your relatives, neighbors and friends? 
Wouldn't it add mightily to the attractiveness of 
your home? 

Tried/ Tested and Proved 

This new CENTURY is a great heater, strongly 
constructed of iron and Armco steel on a massive 
locked-and-bolted frame of gray-iron corner 
columns, base and top girders and front section. 
Before offering it to you, we tested it out for weeks 
here at the factory. We ran it night and day, all 
drafts open — putting it to harder use than you 
would give a stove in years. We burned every kind 
of fuel in it — hard coal, soft coal, wood, coke. It 
stood up without a Haw under the roughest treat- 
ment. It weighs 485 pounds — and every ounce is 
gray-iron and steel of the finest quality and greatest 
wear-resisting strength. 

Heat 4 to 6 Rooms 

Many families have never known the joy and com- 
fort of always having enough heat. We measured 
the amount of heat the CENTURY throws off, and 
found that it easily keeps 6000 cubic feet of room 
space comfortable during zero weather. That is the 
equal of 4 to 6 rooms. 

Flowing/ Humidified Heat 

The Century heats just like a FURNACE, by 
circulating warm air in a gently flowing stream 
throughout your rooms. Cool air from the floor 
level enters the outer casing at the stove bottom, 
and special cold air register in the rear — is warmed 
against the hot inner castings — rises through the 
top register, and spreads upward and outward 
throughout your rooms. This warm air displaces 
the cooler air of the room, forces it to the floor, where 
it flows, gently to the heater again. In this way you 
are not bothered with cold floor drafts, and all 
parts of the room are comfortable. The Century 
really throws the heat. 

As the warm air rises through the casing, it picks up 
health-preserving moisture from a large water pan 
concealed within the casing. Moist air is of tremen- 
dous value in preventing colds, flu and grippe, sore 
throats, tonsilitis and other dreaded illnesses, caused 
by breathing stagnant dried-out air.

Big Fire Door and Fire Pot 

Every practical housewife knows that she 
saves fuel by burning big chunks whenever 
possible. The Century is designed to burn 
extra-large pieces of wood or coal. The feed 
door is 19" long and 13" high. You can 
easily slip a real log through it. And there's 
plenty of room inside, too. The massive 
ONE-PIECE FIRE POT is 20 inches long, 
more than a foot wide and 8% inches deep. 
Above it the great one-piece Combustion 
Chamber rises to a height of 26 inches above 
the grates. There is real room — ample 
space for a roaring, lasting fire of cord-wood, 
or logs, or big long-burning lumps of coal. 
The Century holds a fire 12 and 15 hours. 

Fire Pot Guaranteed 5 Years 

The Fire-Pot or Fire Bowl is the stove part that gets 
the hardest use, constantly holding a furiously hot 
fire. It must be good if your stove is to stand up. 
The CENTURY'S fire-bowl is one large thick cast- 
ing of HI-TEST iron. It weighs 62 pounds, far 
more than the fire-pots of many other stoves. And 
we GUARANTEE IT FOR 5 YEARS against fire 
cracking or burning out ... a guarantee proof of 
quality that might easily mean many dollars to you. 

Hot Blast 

Just inside the fire door is a HOT BLAST control 
Slide. Open it when burning smoky fuel, or just after 
firing. It allows a stream of pre-heated air to flow 
across the top of the fire. This ignites the smoke 
and unburned gases and makes them burn fiercely, 
turning these waste products into extra heat. 

Extra Cold Air Register 

In the back wall of the Century near the floor, is a 
register which admits an extra flow of air into the 
casing. This increases the speed of warm-air 
"turn-over" through your rooms, and at the same 
time prevents floor drafts.

THE _ 

TRIUMPH 

In Grained Walnut Porcelain Enamel 

"Twice the quality at half the price," is how one pleased 
owner described his Triumph Heater. Naturally 
enough, too. The price was low because he bought the 
Kalamazoo way, direct from the men who made it, at 
the Factory Price. And the quality is high because this 
heater was designed by real Heating Engineers with 
over a third century of experience to guide them; 
and made RIGHT, out of the finest materials money 
can buy. 

The Triumph requires but little fuel to give you a 
roaring fire. Keeps coal bills low. Burns wood equally 
well — or any other fuel. Tell us what you burn and 
we will install in your stove a grate specially designed 
to burn it economically. Walnut Porcelain Enamel 
finish is fused on in two coats in our own enameling 
plant. This is PORCELAIN ENAMEL "from top to 
toe" — double coat, glass-smooth, easy to clean as a 
china dish. Convenient Foot Warmer and cheerful 
fire windows. Inner castings are the heaviest cast 
iron — no steel to rust or leak gas. Doors close tight 
and solid in cast iron frame. — will not sag. Sides and 
back are famous Armco Ingot Iron. Floor space 
needed, 23x29 inches. Burns soft coal, hard coal, coke 
or wood. Grates protected against burning out by 
9-inch high ash pit. Takes 6-inch smoke pipe. Large 
iron ash pit — no spilling of ashes on rugs. Holds fire

HOW TO CHOOSE A RANGE 
THAT WILL Siuilifa YOU 



PLEASE read these next pages care- 
fully. They are IMPORTANT TO 
YOU, written to help you select a 
GOOD range — one which will give you long 
years of increasing joy in its use and pride in 
your own cooking skill. 

Some folks think that the more a range 
costs the better it must be — but that is 
not so! Many thin, weak stoves are being 
sold for FAR MORE than stronger, heav- 
ier, better- made stoves. 

But a worse disappointment is to buy a CHEAP 
stove simply because it is cheap. Cheap materials 
and slap-bang construction mean a stove will soon 
be a total loss or need expensive repairs. To ' ' save ' ' 
a few dollars (really only a few cents a week, over the 
course of a year) that way, is wild extravagance. 

Stoves are much alike. The things that insure good 
baking, long service, fuel economy, quick heating, 
etc. are often hidden. The use of some special iron 
alloy, the design of a flue, weight of parts, or fit of 
doors; careful, exacting assembly. Together, these 
simple little items mean added years of service. 
From 35 years' experience we tell you here what to 
look for and what to avoid in choosing your range. 

QUALITY MATERIALS ARE VITAL. Here you 
must rely on the reputation of the stove maker . . . 
Insist on Al NEW IRON, with elasticity that's 
missing in remelted "scrap"— A new- iron stove will 
give good service years after the "scrap" stove is on 
the junk heap. 

EXAMINE THE ENAMEL. Beware if the iron 
shows through in spots. This indicates only one 
coat of enamel. You need two coats or more, each 
coat melted into the preceding coat. A strong, even 
Finish of glossy enamel adds to beauty and easy 
cleaning and adds long years of service. 

WHY and WHERE IS WEIGHT ALL-IMPORT- 
ANT? Thin sections of iron actually burn out very 
quickly. Weight means more iron — thicker, 
heavier, tougher castings — longer actual life for 
your stove.' Weight is especially important in the 
parts exposed directly to the fire — grates, fire box 
linings, cooking top, etc. 

HEAVY TOTAL WEIGHT tells of strong con- 
struction. A stove maker "cutting corners" on ex- 
pense will probably skimp on weight — "Shipping 



Weight" can be misleading. Many stoves are crated 
with very heavy hard-wood lumber. This runs 
up the "Shipping Weight" — but does not add a 
penny's worth to the stove's life or performance. 

THE OVEN should heat quickly, hold even heat, 
bake well in all corners; be convenient; fast; turn 
out true-flavored bakings and juicy, unshrunk 
roasts. 

To get these results: First, oven door must fit 
properly, as leaky doors often spoil bakings. Vapors 
won't make the food soggy and tasteless if oven is 
ventilated. Outside thermometer should tell the 
oven heat inside without opening the door. Gener- 
ous flues should carry the heat all around the oven. 

CAST IRON OVEN BOTTOMS remain always 
level, never warp. Should be porcelain enameled 
for easy cleaning. Will the oven hold all the pans or 
loaves you want to bake — also your large roaster? 
Soot reduces heating power, so look for large flue 
cleanout openings. 

See that OVEN JOINTS are sealed, so smoke, gas 
and dirt won't sift in to spoil roasts and bakings. 

RESERVOIR : Is it wide enough for a big dipper or 
saucepan? You don't want to scald your arm reach- 
ing into a narrow reservoir, or dip your hot water 
out with a teacup. VERY IMPORTANT — Reser- 
voir tanks need frequent scrubbing. Make sure that 
yours can be lifted out for easy cleaning without 
tearing the stove apart . . . copper is the fastest 
and most durable water heater. 

Convenience Hints 

Large ASHPAN saves you many a trip ... A wash 
boiler needs 17 inches clear between cooking top and 
warming closet . . . Get a 2-section cooking lid and a 
Non-Scorch lid . . . FIRE BOX must hold enough 
fuel to keep fire over night. 

GRATES MATCHED TO YOUR FUEL. Be sure 
that your stove is equipped with the grate best 
suited to the kinds of fuel you burn . . . Grate 
bars with thick teeth will grind up clinkers. Heavy 
grates are very important — they get the hardest 
use. 

PERMANENTLY POLISHED TOP. Insist on it. 
Blacking and polishing belong to a past generation. 
POUCH FEED SHOULD STAND WIDE OPEN 
WITHOUT HOLDING, leaving both hands free for 
the scuttle . . . Get a written guarantee that assures 
your satisfaction . . . Make sure that you can always 
get REPAIR PARTS quickly.

'Think of a stove as a piece of household MACHINERY. If it is designed 
to do its work RIGHT, it will economize a housewife's time, steps and en- 
ergy — save her worry and discouragement, cut fuel costs to the bone . . . 
It's like a 1935 car compared with a 1918 flivver; it may cost a bit more 
at first— but what you get is worth the added cost, TEN TIMES OVER." 

JACKASPLAN 



JACK A5PLAN, Superintendent of the largest 
direct-setting stove and furnace factory in the 
world — stickler for "Quality first and always"— 
veteran of 32 years of stove making, tells you 
here what he knows about Kalamazoo ranges. . . . 



WHENEVER money is scarce, there's a tendency for folks to spend as 
little as possible for their needs. That's good economy — provided 
they get real VALUE for what they DO spend. But it is actually 
possible to buy TOO cheap — to WASTE money by not spending quite 
enough. 

Take the case of Kalamazoo stoves. Kalamazoo quality iron and enamel, 
cost much more than scrap or low grade raw materials. Our highly skilled, 
careful workers get higher wages than unskilled, slipshod labor, and always 
will. Because of this, there are cheaper stoves than a Kalamazoo. But a 
Kalamazoo is a real stove instead of an imitation. It will cook, bake and 
heat better. It will use less fuel. It will save big repair expenses. . . . And 
it will stili be giving trouble-free service years after the other is a burned-out, 
broken-down wreck — a total loss of whatever money was invested in it. 

Now / am going to tell you about the materials we put into 
Kalamazoo stoves. And then I'll explain some of the 
features we build into those stoves — features that give their 
owners TEN TIMES THEIR MONEY'S WORTH in good 
cooking, convenience and all-round satisfaction. 



* QUALITY MATERIALS FOR QUALITY RANGES * 

Stoves are made mostly of gray iron. They can't bake, cook or wear well 
unless it is GOOD iron . . . We use a mixture of Lake Superior and Alabama 

iron, the two choicest varieties in America. 
We keep every pound of it up to par by 
daily tests made in our own metallurgical 
laboratory. In 35 years of experience we 
have worked out what we believe is the 
perfect stove plate iron — a certain per- 
centage of carbon, to make it tough, just 
the right amount of silicon to give it heat 
resistance, manganese and phosphorus to 
make it stronger. We call this secret- 
formula iron of ours HI-TEST, and we 
pay a premium for it; but it means bet- 
ter and longer service out of the stove 
we ship you. 

For sheet metal parts we use Armco Ingot 
Iron . . . Our enamel is the finest we can 
find anywhere, ground in our own mills, 
baked on in our own ovens. It cost us 
$150,000 to set up our enameling shop — 
but it makes us sure from first to last of 
A-No. 1 quality . . . We bring in our mold- 
ing sand all the way from Albany, N. Y. — 
hundreds of miles away . . . We buy the 
materials for our stoves and furnaces from 
16 different states — each material where 
we can find the best quality. 



Now, here are some of the Kalamazoo CONSTRUCTION FEATURES 
you should know about. 





• * • • WORLD-FAMOUS OVEN * * * • 

It has taken us 35 years to perfect the famous "Oven that Floats in Flame" 
—the oven which helped TWENTY-ONE WOMEN win cooking prizes at 
Chicago's "Century of Progress" World's Fair. Surrounded on all sides by 
deep flues, with insulated ^^^^^^^^^ _^^^^^mr 

top and extra large gray ^^^^^^M^flM 

iron bottom plate, it heats 
evenly all over. No woman 
need fear scorched bakings 
at the top of this oven or 
underbaked ones at the 
bottom or cold corners. 
There's an improved venti- 
lator to keep the air fresh, 
sweet and dry. Oven edges 
and corners are overlapped 
in construction and sealed, 
so that no smoke, soot or 
carbon monoxide gas from 
the fire can possibly leak 
into the oven to taint your 
roast or baking. There's a 
non-slam hinge on the door 

so it won't fall open or crash closed. Read all about this great "Blue Rib- 
bon" oven on page 39. 

* • TIGHT, HOT OVEN FOR BIG BAKINGS * * 

All Kalamazoo oven doors are 
constructed with heavy cast iron 
frames which close tight against 
the main cast iron stove body. 
When you close a Kalamazoo 
oven door, it closes TIGHT. 
This prevents bakings from being 
ruined. Many other stoves are 
made with lightweight sheet 
metal doors that do not close 
tight or solid and allow drafts to 
leak into the oven. Before you 
buy any stove, slam the oven 
door. Be sure that it closes with 
a good solid thud — not with a rattle of sheet metal. 

Some women prefer to bake high in the oven, some low. Our stoves offer 
different oven-rack levels, and very large baking capacity. The photograph 
shows the President 18" oven with a baking of 16 one-pound loaves. 



+ THERMOMETER * 

For years most good ranges had 
oven thermometers that graded 
oven heats from 1 up to 12. 
Then we found it would be a real 
help in turning out prize-winning 
bakings to have the oven 
thermometer read in actual de- 
grees.' Today every Kalamazoo 
baker reads her oven heat on the 
door thermometer in the same 
figures as those in her cook 
book's baking instructions. 





17 




A feature of real importance to 
the housewife is the Kalama- 
zoo Porcelain Enameled 
Oven Bottom. Hard and 
smooth as glass, it makes it 
very easy to clean up any spill- 
over. Compare this with the 
trouble and time necessary to 
clean an ordinary oven bottom. 

*• OVEK BOTTOM • 

Most ranges lose much heat up 
the chimney — a sheer waste, of 
course. We designed a new 
RIPPLE OVEN BOTTOM 
to hold the fire's heat in the 
oven longer, and to increase 
the heat-absorbing capacity of 
the oven bottom. This im- 
provement cuts down the up-the-chimney waste, and at the same time 
gives a faster and hotter oven with less fuel burned and fewer ashes to carry 
out. This Ripple Oven Bottom is shown and explained in more detail on 
page 39. It is made of CAST IRON because that material will not warp, 
leak or become uneven as a steel oven bottom usually does. Think of trying 
to cook a cherry pie or other juicy dish on an oven bottom that wasn't level ! 

• * STRONG, LEAKPROOF OVEN DOORS * * 

OVEN DOORS must close tight and stay tight to prevent chilling drafts 
through the oven. Our doors all have positive action spring catches. They 
can't accidentally crack open . . . Every oven door has a resistance-spring 
hinge. It won't fall open or slam closed . . . This hinge would lose all its 
spring due to the effect of constant high heat on the spring steel, if we did 
not fit it into an AIR-COOLED CASING as we have done. 
* • * • 

Does the strength of your oven door interest you? Ours have sturdy frames 
of cast iron with panels of Armco, They fit against the main cast-iron front. 
They are drop type doors of the strongest construction. They pull down 
smoothly, can be left part way open, and make a fine shelf level with the 
oven bottom when completely open. 

For Illustration and Details of 

"The Oven That Floats in Flame" 

See Page 39 

Women used to complain that 
their ovens grew slower and 
slower to heat. We traced the 
trouble down to SOOT in the 
flues. So we built an 8-inch lid 
into many of our oven bottom 
plates. Now it's easy to clean 
the flues often, and baking speed 
is maintained . . . Incidentally, 
this lid, removed, makes a fine 
place to simmer stews and special 
slow-cooking recipes. 

* # * HEAVY LIDS • * * 

Every Kalamazoo stove has a multiple lid and 
a non-scorch lid on its cooking top. Tests 
showed us that making cooking top lids extra- 
heavy would overcome their tendency to warp 
under the fire's heat. So we are making them 
extra heavy. It costs more — but it is stronger, 
radiates more heat and makes the Kalamazoo 
a better stove to work on. Lids and all top 
guaranteed for five years. 





* EASY CLEANING * 

Polishing and shining the top of the 
kitchen stove used to be a housewife's 
chief bugbear. We ended it forever 
by putting on every Kalamazoo range 
a permanently polished top. Right at 
the factory the entire top is put under 
giant emery-wheel grinders. They 
burnish it to a brilliant permanent 
polish, mirror smooth. . . . Later we 
found that women did not care for 
the golden color which use gave to 
this new polished top — so we de- 
veloped a special heat-treating proc- 
ess which produced a permanently 
shiny top of glossy-black which 
women like so well. It costs us money 
to do this — but it is what our cus- 
tomers want, so it is worth the 
trouble and cost. 




4 <■—■ ■ 



There's 17 inches clear space under 
the Warming Closet or Utility Shelf 
on a Kalamazoo — plenty of room for 
the biggest wash boiler. The boiler 
slides all the way back under, too, 
because the smoke pipe is carried be- 
hind the splasher back, leaving the 
entire top clear. Reservoir covers 
that are flush with cook-top give 
added work room on range top. 



* * * WIDE, SANITARY RESERVOIRS • • i 

All Reservoirs need to be cleaned from time to time, as sediment from soft 
water or scale from hard water accumulate constantly. Any Kalamazoo 
RESERVOIR TANK can be lifted out in an instant (as shown in photo- 
graph below) for washing or scrubbing at the sink, then quickly and easily 
slipped back into place. Nothing else has to be removed before you can 
do this. You don't have to take your stove apart to clean your reservoir, 
as in so many other ranges. 



• * COPPER, PERFECT HEAT CONDUCTOR * * 

We asked thousands of 
housewives what kind 
of hot-water reservoir 
they wanted. Seven 
out of ten replied, 
"COPPER." So now 
Kalamazoo ranges 
come with COPPER 
reservoirs, contact- 
heated against the flue. 
We even went a step 
beyond their request 
and tinned the inside 
of each. It costs 
money, but it makes a 
copper reservoir per- 
fect by protecting it 
against corrosion. 




A QUALITY- BUILT Kalamapv 'Ranqt 




• EXTRA WIDE 
„ RESERVOIRS • 

Kalamazoo reservoir 
openings are extra 
wide, making it easy to 
dip water out with a 
large cup, dipper or 
saucepan. This is very 
important. Many 
stoves are built with 
such narrow reservoir 
openings that a woman 
is very likely to burn 
her arm against the 



hot sides, or have it scalded by the confined steam. 



Many reservoirs were heated by opening a damper that permits hot gases 
direct from the fire to circulate in the reservoir housing. Naturally, soot 
and dirt accumulate in there. Being difficult or impossible to get out, it 
quickly insulates the reservoir (34" °f soot will reduce heating capacity by 
25 to 50%). Kalamazoo reservoirs are made of quick-heating copper 
pressed close up against the iron flue wall, heating by contact, freed 
of all soot and dirt accumulation. 

• ENAMELED COVERS KEEP HOT WATER CLEAN * 

Here's another BIG little thing — the hinged lids that cover our reservoir 
tanks. They are porcelain enameled outside and inside — outside for easy 
cleaning and good appearance, inside to keep your hot water free of rust 
dripping down from above. 

****** POUCH FEED •••••• 

It takes two hands to pour coal out of a scuttle. So we arranged a larger 
Pouch Feed that stands open, leaving both hands free to manage the coal 
scuttle. [See actual photograph at bottom of this column.] 




we put a sliding ash pan in every 
Kalamazoo stove where many stove 
makers provide only an ash pit. Thus, 
there is no shoveling of ashes in a 
Kalamazoo home. The ash pan is slid 
out and carried outside by its two 
convenient handles. 

• ASH-CATCH DOOR • 

There's thoughtfulness even in the Ash 
Pit Door. Our newest ones open 
downward, forming a level shelf 
when opened. It catches the loose 
ashes when you remove the ash pan — 
keeps them off the floor. Our older 
models have an exterior ash catch for 
this purpose. 

• • • • NO MORE SPILLED ASHES * * * * 

Speaking of ashes, one of woman's most aggravating jobs is digging out of 
the ash pit the ashes which have spilled down outside the edges of the ash 
pan. . . . That can't happen in Kalamazoo stoves, for the simple reason 
that along both sides of the grates we build chutes which steer the ashes 
into the pan. So there's another mean job we save our owners through 
forethought in designing and additional care in building. 

• * • CHOICE OF 3 TOPS * * * 

We questioned whether the high Warming closet was 
worth its cost to housewives ; or whether they preferred 
the less expensive High Shelf; or whether they'preferred 
to save that cost also and have a backless stove like 
modern cabinet gas stove. . . . Instead of guessing 
what women wanted, we asked. And some wanted each 
kind. So now you can order practically any Kalamazoo 
with choice of Warming Closet, Utility Shelf at a sav- 
ing, or Console Back at a greater saving. 




• • • DEEP ASH PIT * * * 

Do you know what is the greatest cause of burnt- 
out grates? Shallow ash pits ! Why? Because in 
them ashes quickly pile up right up under the 
bars — shutting off the flow of cool air and quickly 
overheating the grates. We make Kalamazoo 
ash pits roomy and deep ; it protects your grates 
and your stove requires less care. 

* * , * CLEAN FLOORS • * * 

Good housekeepers hate ashes on the floor — 
they ruin rugs, scratch linoleum. Therefore, 




IT ALWAYS PAYS TO BUY QUALITY 




Here are two watches. They 
look very much alike at first 
glance. Yet when it comes to 
performance, one tells the time 
and the other is just a "false 
alarm." The good one costs 
a little more. Is it worth it 
to get a real timepiece? 



Here are 2 pairs of shoes. 
They look alike. But one is 
made of good leather, the 
other of cheap "findings" and 
paper. The good ones cost 
half again as much — and will 
wear 3 times as long. Which 
is the better buy? 



Here are two saws. One costs 
$1.50 more than the other. It 
will be sharp and straight 
years after the other is dull 
and twisted. Which would 
you want to work with? Which 
would you want to spend your 
money for? 



It's WASTE to Buy Anything That is Merely CHEAP— 
the Little You Save Isn't Worth HALF What You Lose!

COOL IN SUMMER 
WARM IN WINTER 

You can run the PILGRIM as a coal- 
wood stove, or as a gas stove or as 
BOTH at the same time! Many a 
housekeeper has equipped her kitchen 
with TWO separate stoves to get 
what the Pilgrim gives you IN ONE 
STOVE — the cool comfort of gas 
cooking for summer days, the cosy 
warmth of a coal or wood fire for 
winter. 

The Pilgrim does double duty, taking 
up one stove's space, saving you the 
price of a second stove. 

Gas— OVEN— Cool, Wood 

The PILGRIM'S outstanding fea- 
ture is its ALL-PURPOSE, ALL- 
FUEL oven. When burning coal or 
wood, the oven is heated like all other 
Kalamazoo ovens. "It floats in 
flame." The flame sweeps over, 
around and under the oven through 
specially designed flues, heating it 
evenly and quickly. The heavy por- 
celain enamel iron oven Bottom Plate 
is a regular storehouse of heat, which 
it radiates steadily into the oven. 
But in a moinen f you can transform 
this coal oven into an efficient, air- 
insulated gas oven or gas broiler ! 
Just take the big square gas burner 
OUT OF the handy drawer below the 
oven. If you are baking or roasting, 
slip it into the grooves near the oven 
bottom. Slide it into place. It makes 
its own gas-connection automatically— 
leakproof, If broiling, slide the same 
burner into the oven top grooves and 



slip the special porcelain enameled 
drip -pan into the regular oven-rack 
tracks. It's all done in 15 seconds 
or less. 

A Big Oven, Too 

The Pilgrim oven is 18 inches wide 
and 19}^ inches deep, will hold your 
largest roaster. Or if you are baking 
bread or cake, there is a level sliding 
rack to make even more room for 
extra loaves or cake tins. It heats 
evenly from all sides; you can use 
all parts of it for baking or roast- 
ing. No cold corners. Automatic 
ventilator removes excess moisture, 
keeps the oven air fresh. Outside 
door thermometer tells oven tem- 
perature at a glance. The oven bot- 
tom is porcelain enameled, you 
can clean splatter or spill-over in a 
jiffy. Non-slam spring on oven 
door. Ripple bottom saves fuel. 
See page 39. We supply an oven 
rack of welded wires adjustable to 5 
positions; also an oven drip pan 
with gravy well and wire broiler 
rack. 

All-Fuel Cooking Top 

The left side is for coal and wood 
cooking. The 9" wide fire box is ex- 
tra deep (10 inches) to hold a long- 
banking, fuel -saving fire. By re- 
moving the front end-lining, you 
can burn wood 19}^" long. 

The Pilgrim fire box heats a FOUR- 
PLACE cooking top. This cooking top is 
built of reinforced, selected Gray Iron, 
guaranteed for 5 years against warping, 
cracking or burning out. Designed for 
quick heating and many years of hard 
service. It is permanently polished at the 



Kalamazoo factory and will never need 
blacking or shining again. Two of the 
cooking spaces are 8-inch lids — one multi- 
ple so that cooking dishes of various sizes 
can heat directly over the fire, and the 
other a two-level, non-scorch lid for sim- 
mering or cooking hot cereals and other 
easily burned foods . . . Next is a smooth, 
solid French Top or griddle where you can 
cook pancakes, hamburgers, etc. directly 
on the stove top. 

On the right side is the 4-burner Gas 
Cooking Top with AUTOMATIC LIGHT- 
ING — no need for matches or pilot light; 
just turn the handle and the burner lights. 
These new burners give a quick torch- 
light flame, require less gas and are easily 
cleaned. They are round in shape and so 
placed that they avoid spillover and clog- 
ging. Gas grates over burners are por- 
celain enameled for easy cleaning. 

Lots of Storage Space 

Below the gas cooking top is a sliding drip 
pan of porcelain enamel. Below that is a 
roomy storage or warming compartment 
8 inches wide, 20 inches deep, and 17!^ 
inches high, with, a sliding rack. Stove 
may be ordered with additional Warming 
Closet above the Cook-Top — or with the 
popular Utility Shelf. The big drawer 
below the oven makes another handy 
place for storing cooking' dishes and 
utensils.

•RESIDENT 

] Cast Iron Coal and Wood Range in 
\ Four Color Combinations and Three Styles 




THE Judges crown a new Champion 
Baker at some important Fair or 
National Exposition. The wires 
flash her name; papers carry her picture. 
And woman everywhere ask "What is 
the secret of her success? What are her 
recipes? What kind of range does she 
use?" 

So many of these Blue Ribbon winners 
use the President Range that we call it 
"The Cooking Range of Champions." 
It is now perhaps the fastest selling 
coal-wood range — as modern as tomor- 
row — ultra-distinctive, symmetrical, 
sturdy, clean-cut, colorful. There are 
approximately 650 lbs. of finest HI- 
TEST iron and Armco Ingot iron in 
its construction. 

Double Coat Porcelain Enamel 

The whole range can be cleaned with a 
damp cloth — as easy as wiping a china 
dish. Looks NEW year after year. 
Entire surface double coat Porcelain 
Enamel baked on at 1300° Fahrenheit. 
Double door at left covers and conceals 
fire and ashpit doors. 

Oven that "Floats in Flame" 

The real secret of the President's success 
as a maker of champions lies in its mar- 
velous oven that "floats in flame." This 
oven, together with the new ripple oven 
bottom, is fully described on page 39. 
Quick heating, fuel saving, it is 18" wide, 
19" deep, 13" high, with square cor- 
ners — every cubic inch can be ussd for 
baking. High oven temperature gives 
you quick searing — retaining at least 
15% to 20% more juices in your meats. 
Ventilator keeps oven fresh and dry, 
removing all odors and moisture. Por- 
celain enameled oven bottom, easy to 
keep clean. 

Copper Reservoir 

Another feature of the President this year is 
the 30 qt. copper reservoir. Always clean — non- 
rusting. Heated very quickly from the flue 
beside it. Wide mouth, easy to dip from. Re- 
movable for cleaning at sink or in washpan. 
Here's another feature you'll appreciate — a com- 
modious cupboard beneath the reservoir where 
you can warm plates and keep prepared dishes 
hot. If the new President is ordered "Without 
Reservoir" we'll send your range with a flat 
top instead of the Reservoir covers shown in the 
illustration. This flat top gives additional 
working space. 



v^ 





Champion Baker of Iowa is Mrs. V. S. Hanft 
of Columbus Junction who oivns a Kala- 
mazoo President. She won 222 ribbons and 
$487.00 in prize money in a single season. 

French Top and Non-Scorch Lid 

Notice the single flat heavy casting of finest iron 
at the right of the round cooking holes. We call 
it the French Top and you can cook directly on 
it. It can be removed just as easily as the round 
cooking top. Entire top, including French Top, 
round lids and anchor plates of highest grade 
gray iron guaranteed for 5 years. Per- 
manently polished. Heat treated at 1200° 
Fahrenheit. No polishing necessary. Specially 
designed non-scorch lid. Read pages 17, 18 and 
19 for other features. 

Burns Any Fuel 

Your choice of Duplex or Anthracite Grate. If 
you burn anthracite coal and desire brick fire 
finings instead of our regular heavy cast iron 
linings, they can be furnished at no additional 
cost: be sure to specify on your oider blank. 
Fire Box has extra heavy linings which may be 
lifted out. With end linings removed wood 
19 \-i" long can be burned. Burns hard coal 
soft coal, wood, lignite, cobs. 

Double-Feature Pouch Feed 

Entire left panel of cooking top lifts on a ratchet, 
making it easy for you to put fuel on the fire. 
There is also a regular smaller pouch feed that 
can be used without lifting the cooking top. 
Shipment from nearest warehouse — Kalamazoo, 
Mich.; Utica, N. Y.; Akron, O.; Springfield, 
Mass., or Harrisburg, Pa, — whichever is near- 
est. This, together with 24-Hour Shipment 
gives you very prompt delivery. Freight ship-

THOUSANDS of housewives really 
designed this range. They told us 
they liked the Cabinet style, and 
out of this request was born the beauty 
of the Liberty's clean, simple lines. They 
wanted the quick heating and quick 
cooking of steel, combined with the solid, 
4-square strength of Hi-Test Alloy iron 
— and we gave it to them. They wanted 
color to brighten their working hours, so 
we offered them a choice of 4 beautiful 
color combinations to harmonize with 
any kitchen color scheme. They asked 
for easy cleaning, and we clothed the 
Liberty from top to toe in DOUBLE- 
THICK Porcelain Enamel that wipes 
spotless with one swish of a cleaning 
cloth. "Lots of working room," they de- 
manded — and we gave them an unob- 
structed top more than 2 feet deep and 
nearly 4 feet long, and a Warming Closet 
or Utility Shelf the FULL LENGTH of 
the stove. They asked for a copper res- 
ervoir to heat their water faster and that 
they could lift out and scrub at the sink 
— for a BIG Pouch Feed so they could 
POUR the coal onto the fire direct from 
the scuttle — for an Oven Door Ther- 
mometer that would tell actual degrees 
— for a special lid that would cook oat- 
meal in a saucepan without sticking and 
scorching. All these things we gave them 
in this big Liberty range. 

The Oven "Floats in Flame" 

"Most important of all, give us a fast, 
even-baking OVEN." So we put into 
the Liberty the famous Kalamazoo 
"OVEN THAT FLOATS IN FLAME!" 
On page 39 you can read how the flues 
carry the fire's heat to every side of it — 
how top, side walls and bottom are heat- 
ed at once and evenly — how the scien- 
tific NEW RIPPLE BOTTOM presents 
a greater heat-absorbing area, gives 
greater fuel economy. You will read, 
too, how the lapped-and-locked seams 
of the oven walls prevent any fire gases 
from leaking inside; and how the venti- 
lator constantly removes moisture and 
cooking odors, keeping the air of the 
oven fresh and sweet. No wonder so 
many Blue Ribbons from State and County 
Fairs hang proudly in Kalamazoo Kitchens. 
This Liberty Oven is ROOMY, 18 inches wide, 
19 inches deep, 13 inches high. There are 1,646 
square inches of wall constantly radiating heat 
into the oven, so you can bake in any part of it.

Enamel Inside 
and Out 

A feature that distinguishes 
the Liberty above other ranges : 
it is porcelain enameled in- 
side and outside, which 
means that the steel can 
never rust out, — an expensive 
but valuable feature, real 
"hidden quality." The oven, 
too, is enameled on the inside, 
making it very easy to keep 
spotlessly clean. 

Polished Top 

Throw away your stove black- 
ing! The Liberty's top is 
polished to a permanent satin 
finish here at the factory. The 
design of this top is very spe- 
cial — four 8-inch round lids, and a French Top 
Section, 7 irches wide. For cleaning you can 
remove it as easily as one of the round tops. 

Copper Reservoir 

Copper costs more, but is the best heat conduc- 
tor, heats water fastest, keeps it clean. That's 
why we use it. Heavily tinned on the inside. The 
Liberty reservoir is leakproof, holds 30 quarts. 
Opening is wide enough to use a big dipper or 
quart saucepan, Below reservoir is a plate-warm- 
ing cupboard. (If you order the Liberty without 
reservoir this cupboard is higher, and instead of 
reservoir covers your range has a flat top giving 
additional working space.) 

Fire- Box, Grates, Etc. 

Fire-box is proportioned to hold fire over night, 
and to get the greatest heat from small amount 
of fuel. Your stove will be specially equipped 
with the correct grate to burn the fuel you use; 
hard coal, soft coal, coke or wood. Grate BARS 
of finest iron are very heavy, weighing 23 1/ 2 
pounds. Cooking-Top lids will not warp because 
they are reinforced, and of very heavy iron. 
Compare the "feel" of them with any other lids. 
Choice of 3 top styles — the two-door Warming 
Closet, the Utility Shelf, or New Console Back, 
pictured and priced at the right. A Water Front

The way to be sure is to try the Liberty in your

charges BOTH WAYS.

New Beauty and the 35- Year-old Kalamazoo 
Standard of Cooking and Baking Quality 

MAYFLOWER 

Cast Iron Range with 18-inch Oven 

Burns Hard Coal, Soft Coal, Coke, Lignite or Wood 



THE Mayflower is one of the most 
beautiful of Kalamazoo ranges. 
Only the finest material and work- 
manship go into it. This quality building 
explains why a Kalamazoo Mayflower 
bakes so perfectly and will give splendid 
service years after less carefully made 
stoves have worn out. 

Try it FREE for 30 Days 

Solidly built from heavy castings of Kalamazoo 
HI-TEST ALLOY iron. Door panels, splasher 
back and warming panels are triple enameled 
Armco steel. The cooking top is a very heavy plate 
of flawless, finest-grain Hi-Test iron, ground to a 
mirror-smooth finish, then heat treated at 1 200° F. 
so that it will never loose its sheen or smooth color. 
Never will need blacking or polishing. Guaran- 
teed for 5 years against cracking, burning out, 
warping. Actually, the Mayflower cooking top, 
with average care, will last 4 or 5 times this long. 
We supply one triple-ring lid and a non -scorch lid. 
very useful for cooking oatmeal or when you desire 
to keep a prepared dish hot but not boiling. 

Double Coat Porcelain Enamel 

This means double strength, double protection 
from cracking, or chipping. 

Our designers went back to the days of the Pil- 
grims to create a stove of purest Colonial pattern. 
Three color combinations are available — Green 
with Ivory trim, Tan with Ivory trim, or Gray 
with White — to harmonize with any kitchen. 
The Mayflower gives ample cooking room for an 
average family. Besides 4 cooking holes (each 8 
inches in diameter) there is a French Top section 
which is 5 inches wide. The cooking top, without 
Reservoir, measures 35 Yl inches long and 26}^ 
inches wide. The Reservoir cover adds 9j^ inches 
working room, a total length of 45 inches. 

Prize-Winning Oven 

Mayflower is furnished with the famous "oven 
that floats in flame." Read the details on page 39 — 
how heat from the flues is carried to all sides at once; 
warming oven so evenly that you can bake in any 
part, without danger of scorching at the top or 
underbaking at the bottom. Cast iron Ripple 
Bottom absorbs more heat from the fire. ENAM- 
EL OVEN BOTTOM FOR QUICK AND EASY 
CLEANING Ventilator keeps oven air dry and 
odorless. A sliding rack permits you to bake or 



Alert housewives know that they 
save most and get surest satisfac- 
tion when they buy their stoves 
direct from the men who make them 

roast at various levels. Door thermometer 
tells you without opening oven door the 
exact oven temperature in degrees. Hold 
back hinge prevents slamming. Door opens 
down level with oven bottom to form inspec- 
tion shelf. The oven bottom is porcelain 
enameled making for easy cleaning,

*\ Large Pouch Feed enables 
you to put coal on fire with-

reads in degrees. Easy 
to follow cook book 
instructions for oven 
heating. 

A FrenchTop Section 
^ is a unique feature. 
You can cook directly 
on it. Lifts out easily 
for cleaning. 



Large Fire Chamber 

The Mayflower Fire Box is very carefully designed 
to hold a fire large enough to heat cooking top and 
oven very quickly — small enough to be economical 
of fuel. Fire Box linings are pure cast iron, extra 
heavy and air cooled at the back to give long life 
and prevent warping. They are easily removable. 
End linings can be removed to burn wood 19^4 
inches long. 



To burn hard coal, we will install an Anthra- 
cite Grate (supplying a special plate also if 
you burn wood). For soft coal (Bituminous) 
or coke, we will put in a Duplex Grate. For 
wood burning a half twist of the shaker re- 
verses the Duplex Grate bars and you have 
a perfect wood-burning grate. 

Metal chutes steer all the ashes from grates 
into ash pan, which keeps your ashpit clean. 

Copper Reservoir 

Reservoir directly next to flue, heats water 
very fast. Capacity, 26 quarts. Reservoir 
opening is wide enough to use a generous 
sized dipper. Tank can easily be lifted out 
for cleaning.

«/ i \HE HEART of the range" is how baking champions 

describe the oven. Certainly nothing else about the 

*** stove gives as much in the way of solid satisfaction or 

adds so much to a woman's culinary skill. A good cook and a 

good oven are a happy combination. 



Three generations of women have used and proved Kalamazoo 
ovens — and recommended them to their daughters. We know 
of Kalamazoo ranges that have been handed down from 
mother to daughter, to granddaughter, and are still turning 
out roasts and bakings to make their owners proud. 



I am very well satisfied with my Kalamazoo 
stove; have had two. My mother had one 
and my daughter has had two. 

Mrs. J. N, Benjamin, Wesl Chicago, Illinois 



I used one of your ranges for 21 or 22 years. I could 
always depend on it for good baking — also a good 
heater. We always used coal in it which is hard on 
stoves. Mrs. A. L. Hewitt. Henderson, Mich. 



/TT\ 



I have had rny Kalamazoo 
range about 35 years. My son, 
Curt Stoehr, purchased one 
about ten years ago and we 
can count at least sixteen 
people who have bought them 
in Sabattus through our recom- 
mendation. My daughter is 
ordering me a new Kalamazoo 
Liberty stove some time this 
month. 

Mrs. Richard Stoehr, 

Sabattus, Maine 



My stove has created quite a sen- 
sation. Everyone marvels at its 
beauty and low cost. 

Mrs. Anna McClure. 

San Pedro, Calif. 



I have used a Kalamazoo Kitchen 
range for more than 30 years and 
it is a good range still. In fact, in 
appearance it 
looks very nearly 
. The blue-steel body 

has never turned gray but is blue still, 

and the nickel trim also retains its 

polish. 

I found the generous reservoir very 

handy on wash day and at house 

cleaning time when plenty of hot wa- 
ter was necessary.

Bradford, Pennsylvania

"3 Generations of Kalamazoo Boosters' 

Mr, and Mrs. M. S. Hockett, six daughters, 
two sons-in-law and six grandchildren 
We are very pleased with our Kalamazoo Emperor 
range. It has given us perfect satisfaction in every way. 
Its baking and heating qualities are even more than we 
had hoped for, and it does not take an excess amount of 
fuel to operate. Our three daughters purchased Em- 
peror ranges for their homes after seeing how satisfac- 
tory ours proved to be. 

M. S. Hockett. Mt. Pleasant, Iowa 




It bakes just wonderful. I am sure 
nobody will ever regret buying a Kala- 
mazoo stove. 

Mrs. Ed Jobe, Warsaw, Ind. 
• • 
December 2, 1903 I purchased of you 
a range. It looks as good today as when 
purchased and has been 
used every day. The top is in perfect 
condition, not cracked or any covers 
warped. The bottom grate is the origi- 
nal. E. F. Sage, Avon, New York 



I know there is not a stove in the U. S. 
that can come up to your stoves. 
Mrs. T. C. Scogin, Hurricane. Ala.

We are certainly greatly pleased with 
our Kalamazoo Prince. We saved $70 
according to dealer's prices. 

Mrs. Chas. G. Dillenbeck, 

Richfield Springs, N. Y. 



I have had a Kalamazoo Range for nearly 26 years. 
It has been in constant use, and it bakes extra well 
yet. The cooking top is as good as new. The same 
water reservoir is being used, and in perfect condi- 
tion, Mt. Glen O. Tibbetts, Smyrna Mills, Maine 



The Kalamazoo I now 
have has been in use for 
the past 10 years. It is 
a good baker. I have 
used Kalamazoo stoves 
since I was married 35 
years ago. I have always 
been satisfied with them, 
and have been satisfied 
with my dealings with 
the company. 
Mrs. Trios. Barnhill. 
Canonsburg, Penna. 




We got a cook 
stove and a heater 
of Kalamazoo 30 
years ago. We 
would say if you 
want a good stove, 
get a Kalamazoo, 
as that is what we 
have found out. 

Mr. and Mrs. 

F. C. Knapp, 
Troupsburg, N. Y. 



The stove I got from your Company about 35 years 
ago is still in good order and will probably last 35 
years more. It has been in constant use from early 
fall until May or June each year. It heats four rooms 
downstairs and two upstairs perfectly satisfactory. 
Mr. G. W. Parks, Irving, N. Y. 




w 



We purchased our first Kalamazoo stove in 
1906 and it is still in use. Since then we have 
bought a new enamel stove and a Pipe Fur- 
nace from Kalamazoo. 

Mrs. A. L. Thompson, 
Cambridge Springs, Pa. 




The more I use my Kalamazoo range the 
better I like it. It is a perfect baker. 
Mrs, B. F. Morgan, Hodgesville, W. Va. 



We have had the stove for 27 years. It 
bakes fine. The grates have been partly 

renewed once. The fire box 

is good. 

Linwood W. Jones, S. China, Me. 



My stove is fine and I am very much 

pleased with it. 

Mrs. Andrew Garas, Indian Falls. N. Y. 




We are perfectly satisfied with our Peer- 
less range. 

Mrs. Herman De Witt, Chicago, 111.

You will always find me ready with a good 
word for a Kalamazoo. 

Mrs. W. B. Cooper, Tampa, Fla. 



I bought a Kalamazoo range nearly 26 
years ago. Still using it and it is doing 
good service, too. 

Mrs. A- C. Bryson, Balzam, N. C. 



Have been using my Kalamazoo for 10 years 
■ — and am as much pleased with it now as 
I was when it was new. 

Mrs. Ralph Hough, Springfield, Ohio 




I have used the Kalamazoo stove for 
24 years, and I wouldn't trade it now 
for a new one of any other make.

where else for less than $150.

The stove has been in con- 
stant use for 25 years, and 
I would not trade it for any other stove. 
The greater part of this time we had a 
boarding house, and also did a lot of can- 
ning. There have been days when the 
fire did not go out all day. 

Mrs. Samuel Allen, 
Stafford Springs, Miss. 





Have just purchased a new Kalamazoo, and 
I am sure it will prove as good as my last 
cook stove which was a Kalamazoo and was 
used every day for 24 years. 

Mrs. Delos C. Finch, Warsaw, N. Y. 



We have used one of your Kalamazoo 
Cook Stoves for 24 years. It still bakes 
good. Grates are good and fire box just as 
good as new. The lids are not warped a bit, 
Mrs. Jesse C. Dial, Gitmaji, 111. 



A 



HERE'S why these Kalamazoo ovens 
have become famous from coast to 
coast. They are SUSPENDED in 
the midst of heat -flues. These flues carry 
the flame and heat across the top, down 
the side and out beneath the RIPPLE 
OVEN BOTTOM a heavy plate of heat- 
absorbing cast iron, with deep ripples on 
its under side (see illustration) so that its 
heat-absorbing area is greatly increased. 
Fire swirling all around the oven at once 
heats it quickly and evenly. Insulation at 
the top where the blast of flame is 
hottest, prevents overheating and 
scorching in top part of oven. All 
joints are lapped and leak-proof, so 
there can never be any leakage of 
gas, smoke, soot or fire gases. The 
heavy cast iron bottom plate absorbs 
heat as a sponge absorbs water, 
radiates it constantly into the oven, 
holds the temperature steady regard- 
less of changing heat in firebox. 

Roasts 15% Juicier 

Kalamazoo ovens are automatically venti- 
lated so that the air in them is always fresh 
and free of odors. Your bakings are tastier, 
roasts retain 15 to 20% more juice than ordi- 
nary roasts. The Kalamazoo ventilator 
saves you money because it prevents shrink- 
age in your roasts — you take out of the oven 
ALL that you put in. Adjustable wire rack 
allows you to cook in any part and adds to 
capacity of your oven. Square cornered, 
every cubic inch is available for baking. . . . 
Door opens down flat, level with oven bot- 
tom, serves as shelf for inspecting baking or 
roast. Resistance-spring prevents door from 
slamming. . . . Oven Bottoms are smooth, 
level and PORCELAIN ENAMELED, so 
that any "spill" wipes clean easily and 
quickly. For further information about this 
CHAMPION OF OVENS, read pages 17, 
18 and 19. EVERY KALAMAZOO COAL

RIPPLE OVEN BOTTOM 

The picture above shows in magnified form this famous Kalamazoo oven improvement. 
This oven bottom is a very thick and heavy plate of choice HI-TEST gray iron. This 
gives it a rigidity no steel or sheet-metal oven bottom could ever have. It is level, and 
STAYS LEVEL without any danger of warping or buckling or becoming wavy . . . You 
can see at a glance how the deep ripples on the under side must slow up the flow of 
flame and heat across the bottom plate — at the same time presenting a greatly increased 
surface to absorb heat. You thus use much heat which would otherwise be wasted up 
the chimney, and also get a hotter oven from the same amount of fuel.

Mr 

■ mJCASH 



This most satisfactory coal brooder has a very efficient, yet simple ther-tf

maticaliy as the weather grows colder or warmer. Constant temperature 

is insured with little attention. Control is entirely automatic. DEEP 

FIRE POT, built to hold a fire which is very deep and yet economical with fuel. Fire will 

hold 12 hours without attention, burning slowly and regularly, maintaining even warmth. 

DUMP GRATE. The sloping fire-pot walls give a large heat radiating surface. They also 

prevent ashes from banking against the curved sides. Ashes s]ip down through the grates 

into the high ash pit. This large ash pit keeps ashes from piling against the grates. Ash 

pit door is square and large, easy to remove ashes. Hinged canopy front lifts to make

P TO-THE-MINUTE de- 
sign distinguishes this new 
closed-front Wickless 
Range, with its 5 high- 
power Asbestos-and-Metal 
mesh burners concealed be- 
hind the wide front panel. 
Many housewives equip 
their kitchens with two 
cooking ranges — a coal and 
wood range that will keep 
the kitchen snug and warm 
during the winter months, 
and an OIL RANGE for 
their summer-time cook- 
ing, one that they can turn 
out the minute the meal is prepared. 
But whether you use it just during the 
hot weather, or all year round, you will 
hnd this new BAKEWELL easy and 
pleasant to use, a wonderful baker, and 
a quick heater. There's lots of room on 
it— FIVE FULL SIZE BURNERS. 
Two heat the built-on oven. Three 
others are high-speed, direct-heat cook- 
ing tops. Behind these are 3 indirect- 
heat cooking tops for simmering, using 
the excess heat from the burners — 
making a total of six cooking top grid- 
dles, each iy 2 inches across. They are 
well separated, giving ample room for 
pans and kettles. A very ECONOMI- 
CAL stove to use. 

No Wicks to Trim 
or Change 

The BAKEWELL user is spared all 
this work. There are no wicks for her 
to trim or change. An asbestos lighting 
ring and a metal mesh VORTEX 
chimney burner take their place. They 
produce a smokeless, intensely hot blue 
name. Burners light with a single 
match, are accurately adjusted by 
dark porcelain control handles. The 
"indicator" shape of the handles shows 
you at a glance just how high your flame 
is turned. Controls stay Just as you 
set them. Flame can't work higher 
or lower! Has chromium bar handle. 

Built-in Oven 

Oven is 14 inches wide, 18 inches deep, 
12 inches high. A heat deflector distrib- 
utes the heat from the 2 burners evenly 
to all parts. Oven linings of zinc will 
not discolor and are rustproof. Oven 
thermometer is an aid to every baker

Leak-proof Construction 

The BAKEWELL is safe and odorless because it is 
LEAKPROOF. From 4-quart oil reservoir to burners, 
the pipeline is of rust-proof copper, electrically welded. 
Thus, there is no oily smear to collect dust. The 
whole stove is very easy to keep clean because the 
entire surface is enamel or baked-on black japan. The 
front and door panels are creamy Ivory with black trim ; 
top rail and legs green. Cooking Top glistening Black. 
Enamel is all acid proof, will not stain. Stain-proof

RANTEED HEAT 



Kalamazoo Factory -Priced Furnaces 
Winter-Long Health and Comfort — 



BY FAR the most valuable 
thing about your home is 
the HEALTH of the people 
who live there. Your first interest 
is to protect it — especially during 
those long cold winter months, for 
it is then that most cases of serious 
illness sweep down on the loved 
ones of the family. 
Nearly any doctor will tell you that 
the surest way to prevent colds, 
grippe, flu and other wintertime 
sickness is to keep your home 
warmed to between 65° and 75°, 
and to see that the air in it is fresh, 
moistened and circulating gently 
through every room, without drafts. 

Nature's Air 
Circulating Method 

A Warm Air furnace follows Na- 
ture's own chosen way to keep your 
air truly "conditioned" by making use of the 
force of gravity! WARM AIR RISES.COLD 
AIR SINKS. Because it is based on this natural 
law and requires no costly mechanical sub- 
stitutes, the Warm Air furnace is the surest 
and most economical style of heating plant. 
With a Kalamazoo-engineered furnace, every 
bit of air in your house will be heated and 
humidified (conditioned) in the furnace casing. 
It keeps moving through your rooms in a gentle 
flow, through air pipes, registers and cool -air 
return ducts back to the furnace again. It per- 
forms a constant healthful round of heating, 
humidifying, circulating and reconditioning. 

Why a Warm Air 
Furnace is Best 

There's .nothing to compare with Kalamazoo 
Furnace Heat! The furnace has several very 



real advantages over the stove. It is down- 
stairs and out of the way, instead of taking up 
space in parlor or living room. It keeps all coal 
and ashes out of your living quarters. It can 
be centrally placed so that all rooms are heated 
equally. Its pipes lead heat to the part of a 
room where circulation will be most positive. 
You can shut off heat from any room simply by 
closing a register shutter. And furnace heat is 
quick heat. 

Furnace Heat Often 
Costs Less 

One furnace will do the heating job of 3 or 4 
stoves. One large fire is easier to tend and uses 
less fuel than several small ones. For a furnace 
burns larger sized fuel than a stove — and larger 
fuel lasts longer. Many hundreds of people 
have written to tell us that they heat much 
better and at less cost with a furnace than they 
did with stoves. A furnace saves you money 
also, because it holds a fire longer and can be 
banked for longer periods. 

Factory Price Keeps Cost Low 

A furnace is not a luxury and you will agree 
when you see the prices on the following pages. 
They compare favorably with the prices of good 
heating stoves — simply because they are FAC- 
TORY PRICES. They literally bring winter- 
time health and contentment within the reach 
of all.

K 



ALAMAZOO Furnaces are QUALITY 
furnaces. Designed by Heating Engineers 
who are leaders in their science. Built by 
skilled workmen in a model modern plant, from 
a special HI -TEST ALLOY OF CHOICEST 
J RON. 

A sure sign of quality in a furnace is the 
WEIGHT of the castings (see table at left). 
We are so sure of ours that we GUARANTEE 



EVERY FIREPOT FOR 5 YEARS. Such a 
guarantee speaks of rugged strength, because 
the Firepot is subjected to fierce heat week after 
week and month after month. This guarantee 
for 5 years means your Kalamazoo Firepot 
will certainly last much longer than that — 
perhaps 20 or 25 years — without need of replace- 
ment or repair.

Giant Castings 

The pictures on these pages show clearly how 
massive Kalamazoo castings are. The giant 
radiator ring (the most important heat-radiat- 
ing part of the furnace) stands almost as high 
as a man, and is very thick. The fire flames 
sweeping through it, give off tremendous quan- 
tities of heat to these great areas of cast iron. 
The corrugated Fire pot (shown at lower left 
corner) is more than 2 inches thick at the top 
rim. The deep cup joint is sealed with iron 
cement, preventing smoke and gas leaks. The 
2-piece construction lessens the strains due to 
expansion and contraction, and ADDS IN 
THIS WAY to the firepot's long life. We have 
2-piece flrepots on all Kalamazoo furnaces. 
They are GUARANTEED FOR 5 YEARS. 
The deep bell-shaped Combustion Chamber 
is where much of the gas (distilled out of the coal) 
burns and is turned into added heat. 

Effortless Shaking 

The New Kalamazoo Grate has sturdy, T" 
shaped bars with strong, stubby teeth that 
grind up clinkers. Mounted on bearings, "a 
child can shake it." Also illustrated is the 
exclusive Kalamazoo GRATE-LOWERING 
DEVICE. A lever lets you lower the entire 
front end of the grate bars part way into the 
ash pit, so that clinkers may be picked out from 
below the lire bed, instead of through it. 
A small boy can lower these bars and put them 
back without difficulty. It saves you tearing 
your fire apart and having to build it up all 
over again when clinkers, etc get into your 
grate. The picture below shows 7 men stand- 
ing on a Kalamazoo grate — nearly half a 
ton of weight — testing those grate bars for you. 
Such strength means added years of service.

wrong.' The casing is tailor-made at the factory for your furnace. Registers, boxes, etc. 
come to you in just the right size. Plans show you exactly where each one goes. You receive 
just the right amount of warm-air pipe, in the lengths you need.

their own furnaces. The letters on the opposite page are from a few of them. They are real letters, 
and they tell the simple truth. It's EASY TO DO, and it will save you a good sum of money. 

The three steps shown at the right are all there is to it. Our Engineering Department furnishes 
detailed drawings, and minute instructions covering every step of the work. With these in hand 
you can do the job yourself, turn your spare time into money at a very good rate per hour — and when

even hire a local mechanic to do the job for you — and still save a lot of money because you bought 
your furnace and fittings of Kalamazoo, at the Factory Price.

The furnaces on these facing pages are identical in every way except the Casing Top. On 
the PIPE furnace, shown above, the warm air is led out of the casing to the various rooms 
through individual pipes. The One-Register furnace on the right delivers all its warm air 
from the casing through one large register placed in the floor directly above the furnace. 
Other features described on either page, and on pages 46 and 47, apply to both furnaces alike. 
Prices include cement, check section, check casting, smoke pipe damper, poker, and complete 
upstairs draft control. Prices do not include collars and dampers shown above or smoke pipe 
and elbows. See Page 55 for prices.

than the castings of most 
furnaces of equal size. 
The best of work-

leaders in Heat Engi- 
neering, 

Look at this furnace) The thickness of the castings means 
long life, freedom from break-down and repair expense 
Those deep, sealed cup-joints mean NO LEAKS. It's easy 
to throw a shovel full of coal through that 14-inch Fire 
Door. That giant Fire Pot and Ring Radiator give you full- 
est heating results from every lump. The air-insulated 
double casing of heavy iron, is galvanized to protect it from 
rust. If you have us plan the job for you, casing will come 
with pipe collars ready-set, in exactly the right places, and 
ready to install. 

Those three grate bars that weigh up to 23 lbs. apiece will 
grind clinkers to powder. They move so easily that 
shaking them is literally child's play. The other cast- 
ings, too, are equally heavy. Their actual weights are shown 
on page 46. This is weight that count3 for you, because it is 
actual weight of castings resisting the action of the fire. The 
big Ring Radiator is the most efficient known design for 
absorbing and radiating tremendous quantity of heat. The 
two-piece Fire Pot is heavily ribbed outside and in for the 
double purpose of making it much stronger and of giving it 
• greatly increased heat radiating area. The shaker is always 
in place. A push to the right and left of 3 or 4 inches is all 
that is required to shake the fire. Extra deep Ash Pit pro- 
tects the grates from burning out, provides ample room for air 
to flow up through the fire. The big Water Pan provides 
constant humidity for the air you breathe. The exclusive 
grate-lowering device is a great work saver in keeping your 
fire free of clinkers. Read about all these features on pages 
46 and 47. They are important for you. Built to last — built 
to serve — built to live up to the strongest furnace guarantee 
ever written — built to make life-long friends for Kalamazoo.

Keep yourself and your family 
well next winter. KEEP 
WARM! Don't take the risk 
of being sick — of losing time 
from your work or even being 
laid off- — of having the chil- 
dren fall behind at school — of 
having big doctor bills to meet, 
because a cold house has under- 
mined resistance and health. 
This New Kalamazoo One 
Register Furnace is the sure- 
fire way to warm your house at 
low cost. It's as fine a furnace 
as money can buy, at a cost to 
you of only a few dollars a 
month: a wonderful invest- 
ment, paying regular dividends in health and comfort. And it adds much 
more than its total cost to the sales value of your house. 

How If Heats 

The humidified heat rises through ONE big register, centrally placed — 
then spreads naturally throughout your rooms. The inside castings are 
the same heavy, long-lived parts as described on page opposite and on 
pages 46 and 47. The extra thick and heavy Fire Pot, Combustion Chamber 
and Radiator units are tremendous reservoirs of heat absorbed from the 
fire. Their broad surfaces radiate great volumes of this heat into the air 
contained inside the casing. Then up through the central register it pours, 
to warm your home and to protect your family. 

Easy to Install, Too 

This is the easiest type of furnace installation to set up; it's only a few 
hours' time whether you do it yourself or hire it done. There's only one 
register opening to cut, one register to place. The collar on the casing 
adjusts to fit any cellar ceiling height from 6'2" 
up. We recommend that cold air returns be 
installed, although this is not absolutely neces- 
sary. This also is a simple task. We list prices 
below with and without cold air fittings. When 
ordered "With cold air fittings," we send TWO 
COLD AIR FACES, EIGHT FEET GALVAN- 
IZED COLD AIR PIPE, FOUR GALVANIZED 
COLD AIR ELBOWS, TWO COLD AIR STUB

Make These DICTATOR Furnaces 
Tremendous Values! 



A furnace is an important investment; it repre- 
sents a good deal of money; and it has a tre- 
mendous bearing on your family's health and 
enjoyment of life. Now's a time to buy care- 



fully — but it's no time to SKIMP at the expense 
of Quality. Instead of thinking only of price, 
consider these questions: Is it expertly designed 
to do its heating job? Is it honestly made of 




fine materials, with more-than-ample weight 'in 
the parts exposed to the fire? Is it so sturdy that 
it will serve you for long years, without expensive 
repairs? Is it easy to install properly at a 
minimum of expense? 

The Kalamazoo Dictator furnaces shown here 
meet all those requirements of QUALITY. They 
are the result of l /$ Century experience in build- 
ing furnaces, scientifically designed by Heating 
Engineers to deliver tremendous heat at low fuel 
cost. Parts are cast of choice iron, thick, flawless, 



FREIGHT 



Radiator — Massive ring type radiator provides 
long smoke travel for maximum heat absorption 
— gives most heat-radiating area. 



Casing — Galvanized iron, it is protected from 
rusting. Double construction, with air insulation 
between, saves heat for upstairs, prevents heat 
losses into cellar. Each casing a perfect fit. 



Clean Out — Easy to keep radiator soot-free, 
thus increasing heat and reducing fuel waste. 
Ys inch of soot will reduce heating power 25',' , 
so it pays well to keep your furnace clean. 



Fire Door — Extra large. Easy to put in chunks 
of coal or wood. Draft shutter in door. Smoke 
apron prevents smoke puffing out when door 
is open. Door frame tapped for water coil. 



Shaker — Waist high. Always attached. No 
hunting around for it or troublesome fitting. 
Sturdily built. So easy to shake a child can 
do it. 



Grate — Works on roller bearing. Center draws 
out for quick clinker removal. Tight doors pre- 
vent ashes flying. Big air area insures complete 
burning of fuel, giving hot economical fire- 



Drafts — Regulated from upstairs, saves time 
and effort. All chains, pulleys, etc., come with 
furnace at quoted price. Draft doors are ground 
to fit, air-tight; can't leak air to burn out fire.

extra heavy. The Fire Pot, on the 25" model, weighs 178 pounds; 
Combustion Chamber 193 pounds; Grates 34 pounds; Radiator 262 
pounds. The extra weight in those parts tell3 the story of extra qual- 
ity and extra years of use. 

Thousands have installed these furnaces themselves in a few hours 
of spare time and saved many dollars. Our Engineers planned 
their installations, free; told them just where to place each regis- 
ter, where to run each pipe; gave them complete step-by-step in- 
structions. And the Kalamazoo Stove Company guarantees not only 
their furnaces but their HEAT. The same help, the same guarantee 
and the same money-saving satisfaction are yours for the asking. 
Full Installation Directions Included With Each Order.

Heating Problem. 



Casing Collar (One Register Furnace only). — 
Adjustable so furnace will fit any basement 
height 6 feet, 2 inches, or over (basement floor 
to floor above). Dictator No. 18 — 5 feet, 8 
inches or over,* 



Cup Joints between all castings, very deep, pre- 
vent leaking srr\oke or gas, also take up play 
caused by expansion and contraction, thus 
preventing cracked castings. Sealed absolutely 
tight with iron cement. 



Combustion Chamber — Large bell shape with 
small top opening causes fire to swirl about 
before escaping upward, assures complete 
burning of gases. Big heating area and extra 
thickness of castings mean extra years of serv- 
ice, as well as extra heat. 



Water Pan — Provides abundant humidity to the 
warmed air, Proper humidification preserves 
health and makes your home much pleasanter 
to live in. 



Fire Pot — Extra heavy, made in 2 pieces to 
prevent cracking. Heavily ribbed inside and 
out for great strength and also for increased 
heating surface area. Guaranteed for 5 years 
against defects in materials or workmanship. 



Ash Pit — Extra height prevents the danger of 
burning out grates from ashes piling up too 
close to them. Holds more ashes, which means 
less tending. Square back corners make it easy 
I to shovel ashes out clean.

Scientific Heating at Economy Price 

This "Direct-Heat" Dictator Furnace is exactly the same — part for part, feature for feature — as the one 
shown on page 53, excepting that it uses separate cold air returns. This type of installation is favored over the 
pipeless because: 1. You get a more thorough circulation of heat, since you draw the cold air' from the far- 
thest corners of the house. 2. You get quicker heating. 3. You eliminate cold drafts across your floors. The 
picture shows how this system provides constant, positive CIRCULATION of air throughout the house. 
In every respect it is one of the most satisfactory installations. You have only 3 register holes to cut. You 
have first floor draft control. It is simple to install. You get FLOWING, HUMIDIFIED HEAT every- 
where. Note that the price includes all FITTINGS listed below. See pages 52 and 53 for full descrip- 
tion of parts. Firepot is guaranteed for 5 years. 30 Days FREE Trial.

ish. Shutter controls heat. 



Floor Register Box

Shutter controls heat. Lac- 
quered antique bronze finish. 



Boot 

Makes the connection be- 
tween the rectangular open- 
ing at the bottom of the Wall

go around some obstruction 
that prevents connecting the

ble thickness, the air 
space between acting 
as insulator: no as- 
bestos or other wrapping 
is needed. Lengths 
lock together, need no 
solder. Made in T's, 
Elbows and Angles, to 
connect to any register.

The Bakeasy is two complete ranges in one. It will 
burn hard coal or soft coal, coke or wood, natural or 
manufactured gas, There are four 8* cooking holes for 
the coal side; including one multiple lid and one non- 
scorch lid. On the gas side are four big burners each 
equipped with air-mixing valve.

Bungalow-Type Combination Range 

We have built this range to meet thousands of requests. Compact 
in size to fit modern kitchens, without sacrificing cooking-top 
room. Cooking top measures 33^2" long by 22" wide. Beautiful 
design in modern style. 

On the coal side there is an ample fire box to take coal, or wood 
19 inches long, lined with heavy linings. Duplex Grates sup- 
plied if you burn soft coal or coke, Anthracite Grate if you burn 
hard coal. Two 8" cooking lids, one Multiple, one Non-Scorch. 
This coal side is ideal for cooking for a small family or for burn- 
ing papers and other refuse. It will warm your kitchen during 
the cold months. 

Gas side can be used for either manufactured or natural gas. 
The big gas burning oven is heated by two large square burners, 
one at the top and one at the bottom of the oven. It will heat 
very fast and bakes evenly in all parts. The upper burner is used as a broiler. 
Thus the oven serves the triple purpose of broiling, roasting or baking. Oven 
linings are of porcelain enamel — easy to clean and shiny as a china plate. They 
can be removed for greater ease in cleaning. The oven is square cornered so 
that every inch of it can be used. It is equipped with a sliding adjustable wire 
rack. The oven door handle, as well as the gas cock handles, is of very attract- 
ive modern design and adds to the smart appearance of the range. Between 
the oven and the cooking top burners is a porcelain enameled drip pan. On 
the Cooking Top there are 4 new style round- type burners. 
This stove is of cast iron and steel construction. Coal section for cooking 
and heating, not baking. With its handsome leg base, rounded corners, modern 
design and gleaming double-coat porcelain enamel in your choice of 3 color 
combinations, this is as handsome a stove as you could wish for. Equipped 
with Utility Shelf; Automatic Lighter already installed as standard equipment, 
at no added expense. Order
